Rammstein vs. KISS – Best Live Band, Round 2

Our Best Live Band tournament continues on with a larger-than-life matchup between two absolute legends of the concert stage. Perhaps no other bands on the planet provide a live experience as incendiary as these acts, and now they go head-to-head in this battle.

There's no band that puts on a stage show quite like Rammstein. The German industrial heavyweights defeated Ghost in Round 1 of our competition, making quick work of the Swedish heavy metal cult. Rammstein will now spit fire at their next opponents, who are powerhouses in their own right.

Argument could be made that KISS is the ultimate live act. The dudes in face paint certainly pioneered the idea of the larger-than-life rock show, conceptualizing the identity of KISS as a group of almost superhuman ability. KISS defeated fellow monsters GWAR in Round 1, but can they defeat Rammstein?

So which band will advance in this Best Live Band competition -- Rammstein or KISS? You can vote once per hour through the deadline of Tuesday, July 21 at 10AM ET. So make your choice in the poll below and come back as often as you'd like to make sure your favorite live act advances.
